I had a mixed experience at this resort. The rooms had some issues, especially with water leaking from the roof, which was quite disappointing. The location directly on the beach was a huge plus, but the dining options left much to be desired. Overall, the management needs improvement to enhance the overall experience.

I recently stayed at Joe's resort and found it to be a lovely place with a beautiful view of the sea. The amenities in the rooms are modern and spacious, although some minor service issues detracted from the overall experience. The location is perfect, just steps from the beach, but the dining could use some improvement as it was average overall.

Our stay at Joe's Resort Bentota was a mix of highs and lows. The location is fantastic, perfectly situated next to a clean beach, making it easy to enjoy the shore without interruptions. The swimming pool was well-maintained for most of our visit, but we encountered issues with air conditioning in multiple rooms. While the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, some aspects of our stay were disappointing, especially with dining options. Overall, there are wonderful moments to cherish, yet significant improvements are needed.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. The rooms were spacious with a nice side sea view, but I encountered a leak from the roof, which was disappointing. The service fell short, especially since my calls for housekeeping went unanswered. The dining options were not great, and I think they really need to step up their management. Overall, while there were some positives, it definitely wasn't an ideal experience.

I had a great time during my stay at this hotel. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, especially when we requested a late check-out. The location was convenient with several excellent restaurants nearby, but the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, which was a bit of a hassle. While the pool area was nice, it wasn't as large as I had anticipated. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for a family-friendly stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The property's location right beside the beach was fantastic, and there's a lovely pool area that's kept clean every morning. However, the dining experience was quite poor with limited food options, and the service, particularly the room service, left much to be desired. Overall, while the beach access was a big plus, the lack of attentive service and dining quality made it less ideal.
